They also owned Frigidaire at one point too, back in the 20's through the 70's.GM also made Transit buses and Greyhound buses, along with Class 8 tractors. They also owned Detroit Diesel and Allison transmissions.

"The new Ford Ranger pickup truck is built near Detroit, but its engine hails from Mexico. U.S. and Canadian parts content is only 35 percent."
Now owned by Electrolux! I just finished up a 800,000SF manufacturing plant for them back in 2018. Pretty neat facility.They also owned Frigidaire at one point too, back in the 20's through the 70's.
That's final assembly. Your disclosure sticker says it came from Mexico.my engine has cleveland plant sticker on the front of it and it's a 2019

IIRC Electrolux also bought GEs appliance division.Now owned by Electrolux! I just finished up a 800,000SF manufacturing plant for them back in 2018. Pretty neat facility.
So define final assembly. Are you saying that the casting is imported and the engine is assembled in Cleveland?That's final assembly. Your disclosure sticker says it came from Mexico.
Assembly lines are "manned" differently now...ok here is a staggering statistic - at it's peak some 40 yrs ago GM employed at whopping 618k workers in the USA , now I think it's some 85k.
This conversation is a rerun.So define final assembly. Are you saying that the casting is imported and the engine is assembled in Cleveland?
Just what do you think they do at the Cleveland Engine plant?
No really.... how about some definitive answers from a Ford source?
This is the best I could find in a few minutes...(and it is 5 YO)

In my experience , Ford gets it right a lot more often than government bureaucrats, I get your point though. I just don't see any supporting evidence. Ford seems to clearly state that the 2.3L EcoBoost has been built at the Cleveland plant since 2015 and before that Valencia Spain.This conversation is a rerun.As I said the last time, there are fairly straightforward federal regulations about what the required country of origin labels say. The cleveland sticker is just decoration, only subject to truth in advertising rules that would prevent it from being outright fraud. All it means is that the engine passed someone with a handful of stickers that say "cleveland", and that presumably it was someone in cleveland that stuck it on. The probably did a bit more than that in cleveland, but it whatever they did wasn't enough to change the "mexico" label (and the country of origin rules *do* count times doing different parts of the assembly). It's basically like the sticker your dealer might have slapped on the back of the truck--it doesn't mean that the dealer had any particular role in building the truck.
Honestly, it seems like you're being difficult for the sake of being difficult. The regs are clear, it's Ford that fills out the forms and prints the disclosure that was in your truck. If the engine was majority made in Cleveland the country of origin would be USA. It isn't, and the reason is not that Ford printed the country of origin sheet wrong and didn't notice the mistake. If you can't see the evidence you just didn't look at the paperwork that came with the truck.In my experience , Ford gets it right a lot more often than government bureaucrats, I get your point though.

Do you know which plant? In spite of previous accusations, I have no dog in this fight.My engine was made in Mexico...
